Of course. The last build from 0.27 master was 6-7 weeks ago - I hope
there wasn't too much changed in that time (from a builder's
perspective) - if there are no surprises there will be new package up
soon in the stable repos.

As far as I know the migration from version to version was mostly
smooth, so I agree with Nicolas - the way to maintain your mythtv
setup (*if* it needs maintenance at all) is to upgrade.

mythtv has the fixes branch for several years now which proved very
helpful to close the gaps between releases. Also the packaging is
trying hard to make your upgrade process almost just a "yum upgrade".

I will respin a 0.26.1 with all current fixes and a 0.27 with the few
fixes that are already in the git.
